The Joyce Theater
December 17-January 5
Dorrance Dance brings a holiday program that runs into the New Year “…with a jazz-infused program of enchanting tap dance works. Rounding out the first week’s program, Dorrance and her collaborators—Hannah Heller, Melinda Sullivan, and Josette Wiggan-Freund—pay tribute to another jazz great with the New York premiere of All Good Things Come to an End. The iconic music catalogue of Fats Waller sets the mood for a journey through tableaux, from “Cane and Able” to “The Myth of the American Dream,” showcasing the rich, layered sound for which the quartet is known. Other highlights of this engagement include Elastic Times, an excerpt from the 2018 sensation Elemental, co-created by Dorrance and Nicholas Van Young, featuring original live music by Donovan Dorrance, Gregory Richardson, and Aaron Marcellus; Harlequin & Pantalone (2019), choreographed by guest artist Bill Irwin and danced by Irwin and Warren Craft; and Basses Loaded, a glorious piece for four dancers and four basses,” according to the release.
